You wouldn't notice any difference, except that the drill motors are slightly more powerful than the CIM motors, so one side will accelerate faster than the other. Although you won't really notice it in pushing matches, or when cruising at top speed, you will notice it everywhere in between. So, when accelerating from top to full speed your robot would travel in a slight arc.

Also, it's extremely hard to match free speeds exactly. Although, in general, the numbers will be so close it won't make a whole lot of a difference. Especially if you have a 4-wheel drive robot. If you have a robot that's 2 wheel drive with casters you will definately notice it, other than that.

Next year, the situation could change though. This year you could have gotten away with it, because the power of both motors are approximately the same (the drill is 50W more powerful, I think, which is 8-10%).
